| lookin good! if i ever get back to the taco i may have to pay a little visit. i like how they carry all the way to the rear wheels w/oout dumping back into the body; too manydesigns stop short only to drop you on the bottom of the leading edge of the bed. Lookin foward to how you fab up the bed/ xcab protection. good work Justin

| Looks nice. Maybe you should consider making some kind of bracing tube to go from the back of the top tube down to the frame. Looks like a good hit or flop might send it into the x-cab/bedside.

| looks good! i havent seen sliders like that before. i like the cab protection, it looks like it would double as a step to get access into the box. or a clothes dryer on the way to work! | |

| One thing talked about a lot with the guys that wheel hard in the rocks, is that the Taco frame is thinner than the older Toyota truck frames. So you should run larger scab plates to distribute the weight more, I have actually seen a couple of pictures of torn frames on TTORA or I would have called BS.
Beautiful fab work though; nice bending, fitting, and welding for sure.
